Our daughters attended the workshop and absolutely loved it. They are very proud of the Turkish carpet they made themselves. Compliments to Ilker and Hakeem—they did an excellent job, explained everything clearly, spoke perfect English, and were very hospitable. I also really appreciated the fun stories they shared, which added extra color to the experience. Thank you for such an inspiring workshop!
Hakim is a very professional and patient instructor. He’s extremely helpful, so there’s no need to worry if you don’t have much experience with handcrafting. He really made the day special for both me and my mom! I highly recommend this for an immersive cultural experience.
Amazing experience would definitely recommend. Hakim was a great teacher and gave us a good understanding of how to do everything and gave us a great lesson on the history. He was very hospital and welcoming.
This was an unforgettable experience! Our guide and instructor shared information in a way that was both clear and insightful. He was also extremely kind and patient with visitors—one of the few people who could handle my mischievous son. I highly recommend this activity to anyone interested in authentic culture and traditional crafts.
